The Resident Evil 7 development team has announced that the release of upcoming DLC, 'Not A Hero', will be delayed.

The free epilogue was due this spring, but will now be delivered at a later date. Maschika Kawata, producer of Resident Evil 7, along with director Koshi Nakanishi, personally apologised for the delay on camera.

"We were working very hard to get the DLC ready in time for the spring release and we got close to completing the game content," they said.

"However in light of the incredible reception to the release of Resident Evil 7, we concluded that this DLC was not good enough to meet those high expectations."

The pair also added: "Our aim is for this content to match the high quality of the main game, so we need more development time in order to achieve that goal."

Only two months ago, Capcom was teasing 'Not a Hero' online.
